Synthesis

/ˈsɪn.θə.sɪs/ noun

Definition

Synthesis is the process of combining different parts or ideas to create something new. It can refer to making new substances in chemistry or forming new ideas in thinking and writing.

Etymology

It comes from Latin 'synthesis', from Greek 'sýnthesis' meaning 'a putting together'. The root combines 'syn-' meaning 'together' and 'tithenai' meaning 'to put or place'.

Kelly Says

When teachers ask for 'analysis and synthesis', they’re really asking you first to take ideas apart and then to build something new from them. Your brain is constantly doing synthesis—every original thought you have is a tiny act of combining old pieces into a new pattern.
